School Overview

Joseph H. Brown School sits in the Holmesburg neighborhood of Northeast Philly, a solidly working-class area of row homes, longtime residents, and a tight-knit community feel that's a bit removed from the bustle of Center City. The school's scores reflect some real academic challenges, and families here will want to be proactive about supplementing learning at home or through outside programs. That said, Northeast Philly neighborhoods like this one tend to have strong community roots, and families who are engaged and connected to their kids' education can still find a supportive school environment worth investing in.
